Up in Bellingham WA, Little Satan to Seattle and Portland, police were neutered during the protests a couple years back. Then the liberal mayor and city council neutered them again dealing with the out-of-control vagrants harassing everyone for money. Then a bunch of cops walked off the job when they mandated the vax on everyone. Now, they can't get anyone to apply to be a cop so they're offering any city or county employee a $5,000 referral bonus to anyone who refers an applicant for police officer or deputy sheriff upon completion of the training and probation period. Here's an idea, give the people who left because of the vax a written apology and give them the bonus to come back. They're already trained and know how to do their job. Something tells me, they won't take that offer though. And liberal arrogance won't permit reaching out to those folks.
